1. i was just about to ask "Did Romney even give a speech" ?

and it's not just the Clint thing. i have heard more about Rubio than Romney.

the whole convention seemed to be about anything but Romney.

2. What worries me is that no one is even making a snarky remark about Rmoney. He must have knocked

it out of the park? not even any quotes from our friends at MSNBC. I refused to watch so I can;t really say. But the silence from DU is not usual. Did Clint really steal the night or are we the only ones saying that?

3. The kids @ Morning Joe

...just fed a list of comments from supporters and talky talkers about Romney's speech. The descriptors being: "adequate", "workmanlike", "competent" and "Romney gets it done".

As much as Joe and the kids are trying to play it up, ultimately, Romney's speech as a whole lotta meh.

5. Well if Joe and gang are not gushing, it must have been below expectations. nt

4. Clint stole the night.

Romney was a nothing-burger. No big gaffes, nothing great to knock down, just did it by the numbers. There will be lies to clean up etc., but nothing even energizing about that.

On the other hand, I had major fun following the Eastwood twitter feeds last night -- that was hilarious and went on quite a while.

Mainly I couldn't believe the incompetence of letting that train wreck happen. That, was astounding. And Eastwood was unforgettably weird. In addition the R's timed it very badly, having Eastwood on at the beginning of their very limited one hour of prime time. It threw the rest of the hour WAY OFF. It was a very big deal. Even Joe Scab said so.

6. I sense your concern.

Your concern is noted.

8. Clint's Andy-Kaufmanesque performance upstaged poor Mitt.

I'm not sure if that was intentional or not.

Be a weird TelePrompTer. I thought he did well..but it did lack soul. There was nothing inspiring about it. It was so obvious he was reading..eyes bugged out straight ahead.that it was distracting. Hope we have a better teleprompter
